Our Institute
A holistic approach to well-being and beauty.
An unexpected interlude, hidden away in the wings of the Haute Cosmétique area. Tucked away in the very chic upper part of the town of Brussels, the Institut Senteurs d’Ailleurs invites you to discover not only ‘Haute Cosmétique’ treatments for the face and body. The space, with its refined, elegant lines, is a genuine invitation to relaxation and well-being.
Discover treatment formulas at the cutting edge of developments in cosmetics, beauty routines suited to your specific needs, but also personalised make-up sessions. An opportunity to treat yourself or, why not, to spoil a loved one. Indeed, you can offer an Institut Senteurs d'Ailleurs gift voucher for the amount of your choice.
The institute’s diary always fills up very quickly and the waiting times for the different treatments can be quite long. To offset this inconvenience, we also keep a waiting list in case of cancellations.
Paola, Nathalie and Emma, our three experienced beauticians, will guide you to the heart of this extremely refined boudoir space and, depending on your requirements or desires, provide the full range of body and facial treatments, with priority given to the expertise of the prestigious La Mer, Dermalogica, Mansard and Biologique Recherche brands.

2. Treatments steps and metodology
Biologique Recherche’s Methodology is founded on 40 years of experience and is based on unique, personalised skincare protocols adapted to each person’s Skin Instant©. Suitable for both men and women, Biologique Recherche treatments always follow three main steps:
Step 1: The Assessment Phase
Before your treatment, the Biologique Recherche aesthetician carries out a thorough dermo-cosmetic diagnosis both visual and tactile to pinpoint your specific Skin Instant©. The diagnostic is also carried out based on the questionnaire you receive prior to your appointment at our institute. This means we have an overall and detailed idea of the treatment protocol that will be the most suitable for your Skin Instant©.
Step 2: The Initialisation Phase
The treatment protocol begins with personalised preparation of your epidermis – the ultimate shield that protects against the aggressions of the outside world. This follows a specific, rigorous ritual based on :
-
Thorough cleansing of your skin combined with a massage.
-
Preparing your skin using the brand’s iconic Lotion P50, followed by a choice of booster according to the Skin Instant® + mask and co-factor.
Step 3: The Treatment Phase
This stage includes products with the highest concentration of active ingredients, to ‘recondition’ the epidermis and intensify its potential for self-regeneration:
-
The choice of targeted and quintessential serums selected specifically by the Biologique Recherche expert
-
By adding active plant or bio-marine ingredients, the finishing creams, and serums, adapted to your skin and its needs, optimise, and consolidate the action of the treatment. Reconditioned in this way, your skin recovers its elasticity, and your face its volume and natural oval.

Face sculpting + intrabuccal
60 minutes120 euros To offer
Yacov Gershkovich’s innovative, non-invasive natural rejuvenation method. Face Sculpting is like stretching, combining a deep massage of the facial muscles and an intrabuccal massage.
This powerful, relaxing massage releases muscular and emotional tension.
The muscles are exercised to sculpt and lift the cheekbones and smooth the features. The intrabuccal massage relaxes the muscles of the lower face, especially the jaw muscles, which are particularly prone to stress and tension. It is also highly effective for plumping up the nasolabial folds and the area around the mouth.
The face becomes more open and radiant, features are more relaxed, and the complexion is more refreshed.
Contraindications for facial massages:
Injections (no massage for at least three weeks, thread lifts, inflammatory acne, herpes, eczema, conjunctivitis, impetigo).
Precautions: post dental surgery and rosacea
